A long walk together over the 23 months. ‘Long’ not because of the real amount of time being together but for what has happened to us, or to one of us. ‘Long’ because of the so many times of being there for each other. ‘Long’ because of so much memories created together at every corner of a place and all extraordinary. ‘Long’ because it has finally beaten my record of longest relationship.

And a long dinner was had over at Modesto’s, the Orchard Parade Hotel’s one. The place was surprisingly of much higher league than I expected. Unlike the more mainstream looking ones at Vivo, the one at Orchard has a elegant setting on the inside and has its personal bar.

Serving a menu of Authentic Italian dishes, the couple’s mind was actually on the pizzas already.

Diavola (Tomato, Cheese and Spicy Salami)

Honestly, I was pretty lost at what to choose at Modesto’s . For they have SO many different choices of pizzas available and mostly only 1 or 2 ingredients vary in it. It feels as if they were the same if you didnt look at it carefully. The final product that comes out of it do look very different though. While it is still not really comparable to Al Dente’s pizzas, it is surely near a ‘quite-authentic’ pizza. The crust was a little over-crispy at the edges but it was a good blend – the spicyness and the pizza. Oh and the crust in the middle in actually soft and just nice.

But what’s the nicest at MOdesto’s was actually its Garlic Bread. Something to really really rave about. Few places actually serve soft garlic bread. And by soft, I mean… fluffy type of bread. The garlic herb is adequately spread onto the top of the bread and black olives and mini chilli slices were also sprinkled on it. Heavenly stuff!

Pane Al Burro D’Aglio (An all-time favourite garlic bread,spread with a special blend of black olives and fresh garlic herb butter)

The last Italian dish for the night is Pasta! – Linguine Alle Vongole. Silly lady here missed the word ‘clams’ and went ahead ordering upon the sight of ‘white wine’. The surprise did came upon the serving. The serving of clams was indeed generously but i think it made the pasta alil ‘fishy’ though. Probably my least fav of the day.

Hehs. So loved..

The highlight of the night is probably the time spent at the Observation Lounge though. This was such a special place for I was brought there on the second date and exposed to the most raw emotions  and thoughts of a deep man. It was then I had a ‘confused’ view about this man. And it’s also the place where I had my best Lychee Martini which to date… I havent tried a better one.

And yupps, the interior has changed. From much simpler chairs then to more cosy huge chairs and musicality of the place has moved towards pop romance songs than the initial classical tunes. But honestly, I miss the soothing classical, the quiet moods and that piece of beautiful silence.

But well, everything changes. And nobody waits for anybody. Just like how now we return to be of different status, return with a better camera,etc.

The Lychee Martini, served in a teapot and cup where it probably only allows 2 small sips. It really makes me wonder why until now. My first Lychee Martini 2 years ago and it’s still the best!

Vampy’s favourite Mojito. The distintive feature of this huge glass here is its superb size but not being too heavy. And wow, serves a damn good drink for the thirsty and people craving for sour drinks like me!! ;p

hmmm, this man has such a distinctive outline and artsy. I wonder why!

with the mini lychee martini!

Really love the place. Feels really nice to call the place ‘our place’…

Then again, wait……. we have so many places to call ‘our place’ for so many distinct memories are formed at each of these places.

For one’s getting committer at a natural rate.. for one which is different from others..for one that calls for NO obligation from the start. For one that says ‘open relationship’ at the beginning..

For all the free will…. we’re still so happily and willingly committing to each other. However amazing that is….

Happy 23 months +!

love!*

Hellos! Hellos~~~
